I probably adhere to Rom 13 more literally than average, as a result of my belief. At least the avg Joe has looked at me pretty strange, for some little adherence. Yes, they are ordained by God, and they are to be obeyed. Anarchy is below Gov, not above.

And, you got Hitler, also "ordained"--he didn't seize power or anything; but rather was duly elected after trying to seize power--good luck with that. When do you stop following those laws? = when do you stop going along with fascism = what is fascism = when do you stop following those laws.
